If it goes back to the old days when it used to depart at night (18189) and with slight speed up it will be great ( dep around 22:30hrs). Reaching ERS around 8pm/9pm.

With frequency increase, the 24 hr turnaround will no longer be there. It will mostly be PF turnaround. Train 18189 will arrive at ERS around 1:45am & return journey 18190 will start at 7:15am if you look at the new days of operations. Maybe around 5-6 hrs time available. If 18189 gets delayed, then 18190 will also have a delayed start.

Yes, TT of 13352 can be changed totally. The TAT at DHN will be decreased.
The new TT may be like

How come it start with PF attention when one way distance is 2300km and round-trip I'd 4600km when PM cycle is max 4000km for LHB rake? It has to go pitline for SM 5-6 hrs and another 2 hrs on PF placement and Shunting another 2 hours buffer to absorb late. If same rake has to return then dep from ERS will be changed to afternoon and new TT wil be given for saving a rake.

Till the time the ERS-Allp-KYJ section is not doubled highly unlilkey chances of more trains in this section. It is single line from ERS-KYJ and few patches of doubling. Also while the TT is good, it is peak hrs at TVC/KCVL so that also is a big challenge. Maybe in future once doubling is done and capacity is enhanced there is a chance. As of now many trains like Ajmer-Ernakulam, Pune-Ernakulam are waiting for extensions till TVC but are getting rejected for the same reason
